Is there a thread on how two Boeing Whistleblowers have died in a rather short time period?

    Both were fairly young and in decent shape prior to their deaths. One was "suicide" and one was via a fast-spreading infection.


    Hmmm....weird.....

    Dean was represented by a law firm in South Carolina that also represented Boeing whistleblower John “Mitch” Barnett.

    Barnett was found dead in an apparent suicide in March. He was in the midst of giving depositions alleging Boeing retaliated against him for complaints about quality lapses when he was found dead from a gunshot wound in Charleston, S.C., where Boeing has its 787 manufacturing facility.

    The Charleston County Coroner’s Office reported Barnett’s death appeared to be “from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.” Almost two months later, the police investigation into his death is still ongoing.



    Very odd indeed. Represented by the same law firm, too.

    Incorrect. You vote for the most competent person. If there is no competent person, stay home.

    Maybe you should have higher standards in your life. But as an alleged pharmaceutical salesman, my expectations are extremely low.

    Nd not a *SINGLE* person from trumps old cabinet has endorsed him. Not one. As a employer if I get a applicant who has negative references from every employer you sure as **** don't hire them. Not one single person who worked with trump has said he's competent. These are people he put in place who swear he's incompetent.

    You live in some delusional bubble. You're a loser who's been wrong every step of the way

    You are a very odd person.
    I have clearly stated Trump is a terrible choice, however I am not voting for your fantasy sugar daddy.

    Unless one of them has a history of trying to undermine democracy along with having been proven in a court of law to have committed fraud and sexual assault.

    I would rather do what I can to keep such a person out of office than just not vote and leave it to others to decide for me.

    That would be nice, but you know that's not how it works.

    Putting policies (and risk to democracy) aside, whether you like the admin policies or not, competence can be judged by actions.

    The Biden admin has been competent. Their biggest blunder was the Afghan withdrawal. Everything else has been pretty standard or above average. They have signed major legislation. The narrative that they haven't been competent doesn't align with reality. The Trump admin was fighting one fire after another mostly caused by Trump personally. I think you all have forgotten how chaotic it was. So when it comes to competence, it's pretty much day and night when comparing these two admins.


    Back on topic... sound like an illness. If there is any wrong doing (e.g. poisoning), him being in the hospital probably would have detected it.

    https://www.seattletimes.com/busine...-boeing-supplier-spirit-aerosystems-has-died/

    Parsons said Dean became ill and went to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing just over two weeks ago. He was intubated and developed pneumonia and then a serious bacterial infection, MRSA.

    His condition deteriorated rapidly, and he was airlifted from Wichita to a hospital in Oklahoma City, Parsons said. There he was put on an ECMO machine, which circulates and oxygenates a patient’s blood outside the body, taking over heart and lung function when a patient’s organs don’t work on their own.

    Everything they both had to say was already on video as part of various depositions.

    Two Boeing whistleblowers die in a short period, one from 'suicide,' the other from a rapid infection... It can't be a coincidence. As the article says, those who expose the truth risk a lot, but I read here that there are specialized lawyers who can provide legal protection and even rewards for those who reveal such wrongdoing.

    Trump 2.0's DoJ to Drop Boeing 737 Max Criminal Probe


    The case centers on Boeing's failure to fully disclose the risks associated with the maneuvering characteristics augmentation system (MCAS), a flight control feature that played a central role in both crashes.

    Boeing previously agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to defraud the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a deal that included a $487.2 million fine and mandated three years of oversight by an independent monitor.​
